Short explainers that summarise our guides in a few minutes each. Here is exactly where that stands, and what is coming.
No videos are published yet. We would rather tell you that than put a play button on a page that does nothing. Below are the twelve topics we are scripting first, each linked to the guide it will summarise — the written version is available now and is more detailed than the video will be. Sign up to the weekly email if you want to know when the first ones land.
Each explainer will run three to five minutes, will be captioned, and will carry a transcript on the page — an explainer without a transcript is useless to a lot of people and unsearchable for everyone else. Each one will point back to the full guide rather than replacing it.
Why regular timing beats total hours, what a wind-down routine does, and when snoring is worth investigating.
How to measure it properly at home, what the two numbers mean, and why the average matters more than any single reading.
LDL, HDL, triglycerides and non-HDL in three minutes, without the food-morality lecture.
Fasting glucose, HbA1c, and what an after-meal spike actually represents.
Where it comes from, how much you need, and the increase-slowly rule nobody mentions.
The two sessions a week that protect independence, demonstrated with a chair and a wall.
What the evidence supports, what it does not, and what changes when you eat rather than what you eliminate.
The physiology in plain terms, and which techniques hold up when they are actually tested.
The modifiable risks for cognitive decline, in order of how much evidence sits behind each.
Which screening tests are recommended at which ages, and how to keep track of them.
What the label tells you, what it does not, and the questions to take to your pharmacist.
The specific patterns that mean call now — chest pain, BE-FAST, anaphylaxis, severe breathlessness.
The written guides are live now, and there are 38 of them. If you prefer working through something interactively rather than reading, the tools and games cover much of the same ground.
